Site-Specific Performance Series Season finale

3841 Ne 2nd Avenue Suite #400

Instituted by Craig Robins in 2014, Site-Specific brings performance out of the traditional theater and into the Design District neighborhood.  Every Site-Specific event presents work by three unique artists in a twenty-minute format.  As the name of the itinerant series suggests, artists carefully consider the location of the performance as they conceive or adapt a work. The perambulatory nature of the events (audience members travel from one performance site to the next) amplifies viewers’ engagement with the site’s environment. Site-Specific Performance Series is curated by Tiffany Chestler, Manager and Curator for the Craig Robins Collection.

The November event is the finale of the 2015 Site-Specific Performance season. The event will take place Saturday, November 21st at 6pm in the Design District and will feature contemporary dance, performance art, theater and an adaption to a site-specific installation by visual artist Paul Crown (performance line-up below).
